Droṇa’s engagements with the Kekayas and Cedis
ततस्तौ निहतौ दृष्टवा तयो राजन् पदानुगा: । अभ्यद्रवन्त संक्रुद्धा: किरन्त: शतश: शरान्,राजन्! तब उन दोनों भाइयोंको मारा गया देख उनके सेवकगण अत्यन्त कुपित हो अर्जुनपर सैकड़ों बाणोंकी वर्षा करते हुए टूट पड़े
tatastau nihatāu dṛṣṭvā tayo rājan padānugāḥ | abhyadravanta saṃkruddhāḥ kirantaḥ śataśaḥ śarān ||
ततस्तौ निहतौ दृष्ट्वा तयो राजन् पदानुगाः । अभ्यद्रवन्त संक्रुद्धाः किरन्तः शतशः शरान् ॥
